South Dakota is dandy. must con-
fess that she beats us in the north all
hollow in her agricultural develop
ments. In my first trip / took in Sioux
Falls. 1t was my first visit there, and
the young city actually surprised me.
Everywhere beople were busy. Build
ing was going on, and they were not
putting up shacks either, but real fine
substantial $4,000 and 100000 blocks.
All around through the country found
plenty of grain stacks and hay stacks
and fine stock. The country around
CANTON. Huron, Aberdeen and Yank-
ton was just the same. These were all
the towns l stopped at, and they have
splendid futures. The fact of the mat
is | am half in love with South Dakota
and feel like kicking myself for not To-
eating there We will have to wait a
good many days up north before we
reach point in our development that
the country around CANTON and Sioux

Will Amply for Sfafeh cod

Washington special; There will be
a more earnest effort to secure the ad-
mission of territories as states this
winter than there has been for some
years. Delegate Toole, of Montana,
who is here, thinks that Montana, Da-
kota, New Mexico and Washington
territory will all seek admission and he
predicts that in an omnibus bill they
will accomplish their object. He does
not add Utah to the list of territories
which will apply for statehood, but it is
evident that Utah will be one OF the
most earnest applicants. The new
movement as to polygamy will have
strong support. 1t may be doubted,
however, whether on the eve of pres
idential election any of the territories
will be admitted, except 1T shall be
with the express stipulation that they
shall not be allowed to vote for presi-
dent until 1892.

The farms of America comprise
937,62S square miles ali area nearly
equal one-fourth of Europe, and larg-
er than the four greatest European
countries, Russia excepted, put togeth-

vested in agriculture would suffice to
buy the whole of Italy, with its olive
groves and vineyards, its old historical
cities, cathedrals and palaces, and ev
cry other feudal appurtenance. Or if
the American farmers were to sell out

his capital at all.

The Pioneer Press predicts fair
skies in business. The recent tigEtness
of the money market has done other
service than to check speculation en-
terprises and depress the imitation Of
security values. The Press further
says that never, if we may trust re-
ports from independent resources,
was the outlook for national prosper
ity better tn an it is today. The jour
nails which are devoted especially to
the condition Of manu-
fact uring industry and commercial
transactions show healthy activity, a
decrease of failures and general and
steady increase Of clearings. IT there
were any fictitious element in this out
ward appearance of prosperity we
should find it in the record of railroad
earnings. Many of the roads have
been working under difficulties, and
the operation of the Interstate law has
curtailed receipts materially i'll some
directions. Notwithstanding this, it
appears that the gross earnings of all
the principal systems of the country
are much greater for every month of
1887 than for the corresponding peri
cd of 1886. For september alone the
increase is only trihe short of s3,OOO,
900. When it is remembered that
this has been a summer of great actiV-
ity in railroad building, and that the
mileage of these as yet unproductive
branch lines is included in the total re-
port from III roads for last month, it
will appear that the relative increase
is much greater than the mere figures
of absolute growth would indicate.
These conditions are inseparable from
real and settled prosperity. We
have as much reason to look forward
with confidence to 1888 as we have to
regard with satisfaction these indis-
putable proofs of the prosperity that
attends the close of 1887.

Minneapolis Star-News: The CAN
TON ADVOCATE has published the sec
ond of it's series of letters on the divis-
ion question. which was opened last
week by Delegate Clifford. Among
those who have been asked for com
mlnications on the subject are Judge
Moody, Senator A. J. Edgerton, Gov.
Mellette, John r. Gamble, Harrison
Allen, Judge Palmer. and others, many
of whom have already signifed will
lingness to enter into the debate. The
letter of Hon. Frank Aikens, of Can
ton. which is the second of the series, is
an able argument for division to the eff
feet that state internally divided can
not become well governed state.

Supervisors of townships should ac-
quaint themselves with the new law
in relation to their duties. The act of
March IL, 1887, "chapter l55, laws of
1887" provides that township boards
OF supervisors shall hold regular meet
ings us follows: Last Tuesday of
February and fourth Monday of June;
last Monday of March and last Tues
day of October, of each Year, at the
office of the town clerk, or the usual
place OF holding town meetings, if
there be one, not later then 10 o'clock
in the morning and snail not adjourn
. before four O'Clock in the afternoon.
AT their meeting in March they shall
approve the bonds Of township otlic-
ers, and assess highway, labor and
road tax for the ensuing year, and
perform all the duties required by
them in subdivision 4, subchapter 2,
chapter ll2, general laws of 1888 At
their October meeting they shall audit
accounts, settle with the road over
seers and transact any other business
that may come before them. They
may adjourn from time to time and in
case of emergency hold special meet
ings on call of the clerk on three DAYS
notice. 1t shall be the duty of per-
sons having business to transact with
the board of supervisors of any town
to appear before the board at any reg
ular meeting, or file such business with
the clerk, to be laid before the board
by him at the next meeting.

meot. 1t IS the granting of terrific
rial certificates upon examinations held
by the territorial board of education.
Secretary Geo. A. Mcfarland has held
these examinations in different parts
of the territory, and although the num-
Der of applicants for these professional
certificates has not been large thus far
still the movement has begun which
will result in the best teachers attain
inga professional standing and ulti-
mately the schools will pass under
their management and teachers un-
able to procure these certificates must
find employment elsewhere. Educa-
tional journals in Minnesota acknowl-
edge that in this respect the Dakota
system is superior to theirs. Any
movement that tends to raise the edu-
cational fraternity to a professional
status is of incalculable benefit to the
school system.

Jugs and Bottles.

Nlilbank Review: On the Sth of No
vember next the question will be sub
mitted to the voters of Grant county.
1t will be well for the people to study
how the prohibitory law has worked in
the states which have adopted it. The
fact is, prohibition does not prohibit.
If it did it would have some merit.
But it has been clearly shown that,
where the law is in force, there is more
drunkenness than ever before, liquor be-
ing brought in in jugs and bottles and
quietly furnished to those who desire
it, A high license is much more deslr-
able, as the tendency will be to restrict
the sale. Let there be "a high license
and strict enforcement of the law,
and if a saloon violates the law to re-
woke its license and refuse to issue an
other to the same person.

DELIVER Us FROM RICHES.
"Great possessions may bring great misfor-
tunes" The wise man is sometimes correct.
Only six months ago a man in Ohio was left
a fortune of 100000 by the death Of his
father And already his brothers, sisters and
cousins have one into court and proved that
the mans father had three wives at one time,
that he died head and ears in debt to all his
relatives, that his fortune was dishonesty OBJ
tained and that he was defaulter TO the
government, that he had been violently in
sane at several periods Of his life and was in a
condition of hopeless imbecility at the time he
made this will, that the man forged this will
any how, and that he was not able to take
care of such property in any case, being
himself little better than an idiot. He has
still little of the money left, but he leaves it
out on the doorstep every night, in the hope
that somebody will come along and steal it.
